null pointer exception when calling textField.getText()
ok so I have a GUI with some textFields and combo boxes. Whenever I try I get the text textField.getText() and comboBox.getSelectedItem() I get a null pointer exception.
even though my comboBox defaults to a set String or I have text in the textField.
I run the GUI_preGame class and type stuff into the boxes and then call getText().
Sorry that the code is so messy (partly due to using window builder group layout)
I call this Class from another by using GUI_preGame.PetNames();
Error is with this line: 498 (a print statement I put in to just print it!)
System.out.println(textField_3.getText().toString());

- Don't use
staticin this way. It smacks of poor design and will only restrict what you can achieve in the long run. - You are shadowing your variables...
For example, you declare a class level field...
private static JComboBox comboBox_2;
But in your constructor you re declare it as a local variable...
final JComboBox comboBox_2 = new JComboBox();
Meaning that the class level field is still null

All your fields are initialized in GUI_preGame's constructor.
As PetNames() is a static method, though, you can access it without having to call GUI_preGame's constructor first.
When you do that, as all those textField_* objects are not initialized, they will be null and any attempt to execute a method from them will throw a NullPointerException.
Solution: Make PetNames() non-static so it is attached to a GUI_preGame instance (that will only exist if the GUI_preGame's constructor is called), or, better yet, make PetNames() and all your other static methods and fields non-static, as your code right now is making a bad use of the static feature:
public static ArrayList<String> PetNames() { //<-- remove "static" from this line
System.out.println(textField_3.getText().toString());
petTexts.add(textField_3.getText().toString());
petTexts.add(textField_4.getText());
petTexts.add(textField_5.getText());
petTexts.add(textField_6.getText());
petTexts.add(textField_7.getText());
petTexts.add(textField_8.getText());
petTexts.add(textField_9.getText());
petTexts.add(textField_10.getText());
petTexts.add(textField_11.getText());
return petTexts;
}
